Book Discussion Prep: Week #1

Parable of the sower has a type of world with no real governing power. They explain that somehow the world has essentially come to an end. There is not much left in the world, resources are scarce and some supplies are low. Crime is very high where they live because no one really enforces any laws. It has gotten so bad that they have built up a huge wall around their community so they can live in a safe area. They leave one time and talk about all the poor people, drunks, druggies, rapes, murders and even a headless person just laying on the ground. They have to travel in big groups and carry shotguns everywhere they go so people will not try to murder them and steal their things.

How is the main characters problem of not being able to talk to her father about important topics so relatable to kids in the real world?
There are a lot of kids that are still unable to talk to their parents about topics that might mean a lot to them.

How old is the main character?

How do you feel about the parents spending money and putting lives in danger to have their kids baptized? I feel they should have asked the kids what they thought about it first and then the kids that wanted it done would have to have it done inside the walls where it was safe.
